FAQs
What type of movement does the Fossil Neutra Chronograph have?
The watch features a reliable Japanese Quartz movement, specifically a chronograph movement for timing functions.
How do I adjust the brown leather strap?
The brown genuine leather strap is self-adjustable. Typically, this involves unbuckling the strap, finding the correct notch or adjustment point on the buckle, and refastening it to fit your wrist snugly.
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
No, the watch has water resistance for everyday wear, meaning it can withstand splashes and brief immersion. It is not designed for swimming or diving.
What does 'Neutra' refer to in the watch name?
'Neutra' refers to the collection's inspiration, drawing from mid-century modern design principles.
How do I care for the leather strap?
To care for the leather strap, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid excessive moisture. You can use a specialized leather conditioner sparingly to maintain its suppleness.
What is the case made of?
The case is made of black stainless steel, providing durability and a sleek finish.
Does the watch have a date display?
Yes, the watch features a date display, typically located near the 3 o'clock position.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Ensure the crown is pushed in. The Japanese Quartz movement is battery-powered; if it has stopped, the battery may need replacement.
Chronograph hands do not reset to zero
Refer to the watch manual for specific instructions on resetting the chronograph. This often involves pulling the crown out to a certain position and manipulating the pushers.
Leather strap feels stiff or uncomfortable
Genuine leather straps often require a break-in period. Wear the watch regularly, and consider applying a small amount of leather conditioner to soften the material.
Condensation under the crystal
This could indicate a seal failure or that the watch has been exposed to extreme temperature changes or water beyond its resistance rating. It is recommended to have it inspected by a professional watch technician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This watch arrives with the chronograph function ready to use. The crown at the 3 o'clock position is used to set the time and date. Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date (ensure this is done when the time is between 12 AM and 5 AM to avoid date skipping issues), and pull it out to the second position to set the time.
Compatibility:
This is a traditional analog watch and does not connect to any devices, therefore it is universally compatible with standard watch-wearing needs.
Care:
- Strap: Clean the brown genuine leather strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which can dry out and fade the leather. For deeper cleaning, a leather conditioner specifically designed for watch straps can be used sparingly.
- Case & Crystal: Wipe the black stainless steel case and mineral glass with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Water Resistance: While water-resistant, it is best to avoid prolonged submersion. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before any exposure to water. If the watch gets wet, dry it immediately.
